Did you know the 72 pin connector on the original NES is not soldered in? I didn’t know either. All those years of blowing on the cartridges and all we needed was a screwdriver and a replacement connector.
It’s going to be an exciting week this week:

This post by Seth Godin is worth 30 seconds of your time, and 30 seconds of your bosses time today.

In fact, that new car is a hole where you pour your money, which in my book is very NOT COOL.
I ordered a monitor from TigerDirect last week that included a $50 rebate in the box. I filled it in and mailed it.
I have about a 50% success rate with actually receiving rebate checks when I buy something which is pretty sad.
Today I got an email from TigerDirect saying that they have received my rebate claim and they are processing it. WOW. It’s funny how a quick email can make a huge difference in the confidence level I have in a company.
TED 2008 just wrapped up and in no time, they’ve started to post some of the talks on the site. I’ve been interested in the brain and how it works for years. My Uncle had a massive stroke about 10 years ago and lost much of his ability to communicate through speech. Dr Taylor is a brain scientist who lived through a stroke of her own and a long recovery. This is a great talk about seeing a stroke and some of our brain functions through a scientist’s eyes as her own brain starts to unravel.
Her book is on lulu here.My Uncle Don passed away in January. I wish I could have shown him this talk.
